<p>I think you have a solid chance. Are you applying EDII or RD?</p>

<p>I’m applying RD. I don’t want to be forced to attend a specific college before receiving my financial aid package.</p>

<p>Hey. I got into Chicago through QuestBridge. Despite the fact that it is not the same admissions pool, I think your chances are pretty good given that all of your stats are slightly higher or equal to mine (see my chances post). Stop worrying so much! Good luck.</p>
